JOSHUAJENKINSis unremarkable

For some reason the tourists are tour-izing (see what I did there?) everywhere within five blocks of Times Square this week. Tired of glaring at people gawking and whatever happens to be shining the brightest or fastest I took to 5^th Avenue. I took a ton of pictures (like a tourist, oh snap) and thought some of the mannequin photos were pretty funn—or, rather, weird.

The only two stores I actually shopped in were H&M—my new favorite store—and the Apple store which was just a complete zoo. Check out the Figures photoset and my updated New York photoset on Flickr for my short thoughts on individual photos.

Let's talk about trains. Let's talk about my rudimentary motor and reasoning skills. Currently I'm on the LIRR from Penn Station heading to Brentwood. This is going well. This morning I needed to go from Penn Station to Secaucus on NJ Transit.

That did not go as well. After spending twenty minutes on the wrong platform and accidently boarding an Amtrack train I eventually figured out where I should be. Finally got on the train but and made it to my stop (which was only one stop away). Stood by the door.

Door didn't open.

Ended up in Newark, had to turn around and finally get off at Secaucus. Did my thing in town and got back to Penn, switched to the LIRR and here I am.

Update: Got to Brentwood without issue. Came back to Brentwood about 5:20 and missed the last inbound train for two and a half hours. Waited forever in the piss-dungeon of a train station for the next train.

Left hotel at 8:20am, didn't get back until 10:30pm.

Shit.
